Thank you Blush, just... thank you.

Rosalia's debut is evil magic good, I didn't like the second.

Review itself is really odd, unassured, and disjointed.

Kind of perfect for the album itself lol

I really like it, pos

“Mile High” + “Tell Them” + “Where’s the Catch?” = love

I really like this. Definitely a more breezy, chill feel than his other albums. A few even give me Avalanches vibes. And the start of Barefoot in the Park sounds exactly like Nicolas Jaar.

I feel like lyrics have never been his strong point for the most part. But I like that the lyrics on this one are less pretentious.

Into The Red is great. The stretch with Are You In Love, Where's the Catch and I'll Come Too is great. And the closer is pretty cool.

After early impressions:

The poetry might be going over my head on this one, but isn't chin deep water still an ok thing? You can still walk on the floor, no? Doggy paddle to safety if you must.

I can see that on I'll come too and cant believe the way we flow, the whimsical 50s pop influences meet hip hop sampling vibes

pitchfork review for this was ridiculous. there are a lot of beautiful moments on this, love the arpeggiated synths on the opener and are you in love, and 'i'll come too' has such a familiar but gorgeous melody.



least fave track is the travis scott metro boomin collab but it still has great production its just let down by the rap and vocals which go nowhere for me.

always cool how this fella does hip-hop, going through DaftPunk's (auto)tunes to late Radiohead's experimentation. I like it.

prob a low 3.5....honestly thought all the collabs were on point, Don't Miss it is probably the best solo song with Can't Believe The Way We Flow coming close. most of the songs felt kind of tired and dull, but the highlights are worth it and the production is so so good as always
